AWAIT NEWS OF
NAVAL CONFLICT
ST. PETERSBURG ON EDGE OF
- EXPECTATION
LAND BATTLE ALSO IMMINENT
Rumored Request of Rojestvensky to
. Be Relieved Discredited and
Nebogatoff's Squadron Be.
lleved In Good Condition
By Associated press.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 18.— With a
suspicious stoppage of dispatches from
Manchuria and a strong possibility that
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky has cut his
last communications with home and set
forth on the final stage of his Journey
to his goal, whether that be Togo or
Vladivostok, keen interest is manifested
In naval and military circles here as to
the twofold field of war.
Though the admiralty, which has
been completely silent since the advent
of Rojestvensky In the Chinese sea,
publishes no dispatches, the conviction
grows that the united snuadrons, as in
dicated by the Associated Press on
May 16, departed from the Annam coast
Immediately after their Juncture, and
naval officials are anxiously expecting
news of the first skirmishes between
scouts of the hostile fleets. The As
sociated Press correspondent, on his
visits to naval officials yesterday to in
vestigate the rumor that Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky's health had been brok
en down, was repeatedly and ener
getically truestloned for the latest in
formation through press dispatches,
which were declared to be a better
source of news than Is the ndmiralty.
Capt. Clado confirmed the statement
of the Associated Press that the vessels
of both squadrons are equipped with
apparatus for cleaning their bottoms at
sea. He said it was entirely possible
for Vice Admiral Nebogatoff to have
put the last finishing touches to the ves
sels of his division during the myster
ious Interval when they were lost to
sight before passing the straits of
Malacca.
Rojestvensky's Rumored Retirement
Neither the admiralty nor individual
officers have any Information regarding
the rumored request of Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky to be relieved, and all
who were questioned regarding the re
port expressed doubt of its accuracy. It
was pointed out that it would be en
tirely ineradicable for the fleet to de
lay in the Chinese sea until the arrival
of Vice Admiral Biriloff, and It was de
clared that Rojestvensky will keep his
flag flying as long as he is not utterly
incapacitated. Should that happen the
command would naturally devolve upon
Vice Admiral Voelkersam, who is
known as an officer of Teutonic thor
oughness and attention to the fine de
tails of his profession. He is also a
notable strategist and theorist.
The Associated Press was informed
late last night that Vice Admiral Blri
loff will be sent to Vladivostok and
this possibly accounts for the rumor
of Rojestvensky's request to be re
lieved of his command.
Great Battle in Prospect
On the military side the indications
are that events are rapidly shaping
for the preliminary stage of another
great battle. The Russian army has
been refitted and is ready for action,
and it is asserted that Gen. Llnevitch
is not the man to waste days in inac
tion.
A further mobilization of cavalry in
one or two districts was ordered today,
but no large draft is required, as re
inforcements for the cavalry arm are
al hand in the recently embodied Cos
sacks, whose departure for Manchuria
was postponed in anticipation of May
day troubles.
A small but Important detachment
will l"aye Si. Petersburg today to join
Gen. Llnevltrh's army.

SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 17.— Mrs.
David Klser of this city has been grant

He hud been mourned as dead for

RACE OVER SEftl
FOR KAISER'S CUP
(CnnMmwi from Pas* On«.)
ir.jr before the breeze and nwpeplng her
toward the line. Still further away
■were the Sunbeam and Apache, tnklng
plenty of sea room to put on sail and
get under way.
Almost at the. flash of the starting
gun the Alltta nnd Hlldegnrd* went
across the line, with the yawl slightly
in the lead and In the windward po
sition. Crowding close behind them
came the Atlantic, Kndymlon, Ham
burg, Thistle, Utowana and Valhalla
In that order.
Utowana and Valhalla Pocketed
As the vessels crowded together at
the windward end of the starting line,
each captain anxious to secure the
weather position, the schooners In the
lead crowded the Utowana and Val
halla flo badly that they were unable
to cross the line without a collision.
They approached the line from such a
direction that the other yachts were
crossing their bows, yet they sailed to
their course so long that the Utowana,
the leader of the two, became pocketed
so that she could not be turned about.
Both she and the Valhalla bore down
upon the schooners threateningly.
While passing Banatug and the com
mittee boat It looked aa though they
were going to smash Into the Atlantic
and Endymlon, and an order came from
the committee boat to go about and
cross the line properly.
Hardly In time to prevent a collis
ion the fleet made an opening for them,
and they went through them and
swung Into line. Warning whistles and
signal flags recalled them, but not until
they had gone more than half a mile
on their course were they able to get
clear of the fleet and return and re
cross the line.
In the meantime the little schooner
Fleur de Lls, on which Miss Candaee
Stlmson, the owner's daughter, was a
passenger, slipped across the line and
quickly overtook the Thistle.
All the leaders got away within v
minute of the starting gun at 12:15, but
the Fleur de Lls crossed at 12:27; Sun
beam, 12:30; Apache, 12:35; Utowana,
12:67 and Valhalla at 1:25. The latter
■was In irons in tacking at the line and
thus was badly delayed.
Atlantic Takes the Lead
Among the leaders the yawl Ailsa
clung to the windward position, and
quickly drew away from the Hilde
garde. The long, lean three master
Atlantic, with Captain Barr at the
helm, went aft and slipped by them
both like a keen greyhound, and at her
stern clung the German Hamburg,
which in the first five minutes had al
most overhauled the Ailsa and dropped
the Endymlon astern of her. It was
evident that the German -was hot after
the flying leader more than a quarter
of a mile ahead and that Captain Barr
was wasting not a moment in securing
the position In which he has so often
placed American craft — the lead. It
was to be a royal battle between the
Yankee by adoption and the Teuton,
with Lemuel Miller of the Ailsa, and
the Gloucester fishing skipper. Captain
Borden of the Fleur de Lis each eager
for the lead and wise in ways to
get it.
Strung out the long fleet faded into
the dim horizon and was gone.

END OF STRIKE
IS DRAWING NEAR
FINISH WILL PROBABLY COME
WITHIN 48 HOURS
WILL CONFER THIS MORNING
Teamsters' Joint Council and a Com
mittee Representing the Team
Owners' Association to
Hold Meeting
By AMnclated Press.
CHICAGO, May 17.— 1t Is highly
probable that the next 48 hours will
see the end of the Teamsters' strike in
Chicago.
Although none of the labor loaders
will so acknowledge, it is generally un
dtrstood tonight that the program for
calling oft the strike has already been
arranged.
Tomorrow morning by 9 o'clock a
meeting will be held between the
teamsters' joint council and a com
mittee representing the Team Owners'
association. It will be made plain to
the teamsters that the business inter
ests of the team owners will be render
It Imperative that the boycott be lifted.
It will then be agreed by the team
owners to make deliveries to boycotted
houses with union drivers be submitted
to arbitration. This arbitration is to
concern only the Team Owners' asso
ciation and the teamsters, the members
of the Employers' association being In
no manner interested in it In an offi
cial sense. Pending the decision of this
board of arbitration, the strike is to
be called off and such members of the
Teamsters' union as are able to obtain
their old situations will return to
work.
Will End Strike
This will end the strike entirely with
the exception of the strike against
Montgomery Ward & Company, and it
is not expected aggressive measures
will be adopted by either side, the
trouble In this direction being allowed
to die out gradually.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor was very active
today in all efforts made toward set
tling the strike. He conferred with
members of the Teamowners associa
tion, held conferences with the team
sters and had an extended talk with
Mayor Dunne.
He refused to state the results of his
day's work, but expressed himself as
being confident that the strike would
be adjusted within a short time. The
manner of the settlement he declined to
discuss, but it is said he was in favor
of almost any plan that would bring
about an honorable adjustment.
Little If any opposition was made to
day by the strikers and their friends
to the making of deliveries by non
union drivers. In fact, the streets had
almost assumed their normal condition,
and there was little to indicate that a
strike of larsje proportions was in prog
ress.
Schoolboys Punished
The authorities have taken hold of the
strike fever in the public schools with
a firm hand, and this afternoon Judge
Mack of the juvenile court sentenced
one boy to be imprisoned at the John
Worthy school, which Is a branch of the
house of correction, and two at the
Parental school, while a third was re
leased on probation.
When Judge Mack passed sentence
the lads In an outburst of crying- ap
pealed for mercy. Their parents also
wept and pleaded with the Judge for an
other chance for the prisoners. The
Judge, however, remained fixed In his_
determination. He replied to the
parents:
"These school strikes must stop. They
have got to stop, and they will stop
right away. It is time these boys
learned there is such a thing as law
and that those who break laws must
suffer. The sentences will stand."
Six warrants were sworn out today
for the parents of young strikers in the
Harrison school district, and they will
be arraigned in court tomorrow
morning.

'PARSIFAL' MUSIC
AT MAY FESTIVAL
BAND, SOLOISTS AND CHORUS
DELIGHT AUDIENCE
ARTISTIC MATINEE PROGRAM
Third Day Performaneea of Innes'
Organization Prove the Con*
ductor's Versatile
Qenlus
Two proßrnms of a quality seldom
presented by r band were heard yester
day by the audiences that attended the
Mny festival. In some respects the
matinee program was the moat artistic
of the week, for it struck a high note
and maintained It. The effect of the
I-lszt-Kublnsieln numbers was not
marred by popular encore "pieces."
From beginning to end the afternoon
concert whs representative of the best
that enn be produced by a band of the
most perfect organization.
Innes wns at his best nt both con
certs and from an educational point of
view — 1C for no other consideration— lt
is a pity Temple auditorium was not
crowded afternoon and evening. • The
attendance was far behind what it
should have been, but the size of the
audience apparently had no effect upon
the enthusiasm of the sixty men who
played hs if each was an artist of the
first rank. The two most remarkable of
the Liszt numbers were the seldom
played "First Hungarian Rhapsody"
and "Les Preludes." These were or
chestral in their Interpretation. They
were played with superb dignity, dra
matic warmth and marvelous tone
shadlngs. The other two Liszt selec
tions were the "Second Hungarian
Rhapsody" and the "Polonaise No. 2."
The "Triumphal" overture and the
■'Paraphrase of the Melody in F" were
the two principal Rubinstein numbers.
The overture was magnificently played
and the familiar "Melody In F" was
given with a delicacy that stirred the
audience to most Insistent demands for
encores.
Mrs. Partridge and Mr. Archambault
were heard In solos. Paul England, the
London baritone, had been advertised
on the program but he was unable to
appear and the baritone who accom
panies the band acted as substitute.
"Parsifal" by the Band
"Parsifal" did not prove to be a draw
ing attraction in the evening. The
audience was only slightly larger than
that of Tuesday night but it was much
more demonstrative. The Wagner num
bers were reserved for the second part.
The overture to the "Merry Wives of
Windsor"- opened the concert. With in
tervening encores, "Traumerel" and
"Pizzicati," the. Strauss concert valse
followed. One of the encores, the two
step march, "Prince Charming," by
Innes, was received with applause that
must have delighted the composer.
Kryl, the cornetlst, again earned
numerous recalls. The "Carnival of
Venice" fantasy caused him to respond
to an encore by playing "Rocked In the
Cradle of the Deep," In which his lowest
notes struck the bottom of the sea.
The "Parsifal" music was a revela
tion event to those who had heard the
Conreid Opera company, for the band
brought out all the beauties of the pro
cessional march of the Knights of the
Holy Grail, the chorus of flower maid
ens and the temptation of Parsifal. Mr.
Archambault, who sang the "Lament
of Amfortas," strengthened the good
impression he has made. His big
voice, with its beautiful middle tones
and its splendid jange, was heard to
good advantage. Mr. Fritz N. Hutt
man's interpretation of the "Parsifal"
music afforded the first good oppor
tunity for this singer to be heard. • He
has a pure tenor voice, full and rich
in tone. . He was well received last
evening. In the solo where Kundry
tempts Parsifal, Mrs. Partridge's voice
was adequate to the demands of .the
music although her interpretation was
lacking In dramatic fire.
The festival chorus did its best work
in the Parsifal music. | Again, much of
the volume of sound was lost, but the
voices showed most intelligent • train
ing by Prof, Jahn. ■ ".-.-■,■
